Revulsions in Wroat
Dol Arrah, protect me from The Shadow. The horrors that lurk in Wroat are vile almost beyond comprehension. It was on Sar, the 21st of Zarantyr, our contact asked us to follow the leads picked up after the events that transpired at the Royal Breland Inn the week prior. We took the lightning rail to Wroat on Sul the 22nd, following clues in the paper. We also managed to finish the decryption from the dead drop in the theatre to obtain the passcode needed to find the mysterious group behind the assassinations: “Power”.
What we uncovered in Wroat was a dental office acting as a front for illicit activities. The Restful Crown is not a place I would recommend you visit to meet your dental needs, as we discovered they are actually a splinter cell of The Restful Watch, a mysterious mortician group.
Posing as valid contacts of the Watch, we were led by a Dr. Denis DDS to a backroom where there were apparent experimentations on corpses. This, while distasteful, was unusual but not completely unheard of. We were told they were collecting samples to feed an entity only known as “The Host”. However, the next room we were led to revealed the most taboo and profane of operations: vivisection on hapless human victims. Unable to let this stand, we detained “Dr.” Denis and freed the captives.
Exploring deeper into the basement depths of the building revealed violent Watch cultists as well as a grotesque, fleshy horror that invaded our minds. Thanks largely to a particularly devastating blow by Tilly, we managed to dispatch the horror before it had a chance to do anything worse. The cultists in the basement succumbed to severe neurological damage during this, and we were able to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the basement, we found an envelope with instructions from “D” regarding the events at the theatre the previous week. We have Denis in captivity to extract more information from. The ultimate question is, is he D, or is he getting instructions from D? I do not expect much rest until I find out.
